No. 13 Kentucky welcomes unbeaten Ohio University to Rupp Arena in the Cats’ final game of the Kentucky Classic.
After dropping the season opener against Duke in New York, Kentucky has won two straight games at home. The Cats topped Robert Morris 100-60 behind 19 points from Kellan Grady and 14 points and 20 rebounds from Oscar Tshiebwe.
UK beat Mount St. Mary’s on Tuesday night, as Tshiebwe scored a career high 24 points and grabbed 16 rebounds, while TyTy Washington Jr. had a career best 16 points.
Now, the Cats face their biggest challenge since Duke as Ohio University comes to Lexington. The Bobcats are 3-0 on the season, having beaten Belmont, Cleveland State and Robert Morris.
UK head coach John Calipari is impressed with what he has seen from Ohio.
“This is an NCAA Tournament team, terrific for us to play,” Calipari said. “And we’re going to learn. These early games, that’s what you do. You need games where you can work through the kinks and still build confidence and have guys understand what they can and can’t do.”
